There are quite a few manufacturer’s quotes but nothing from the “industry”. Beth just blogged about new SSD company and some of the issues with current SSD’s but Vmware and IBM seem to think SSD’s are o.k. for the near term anyway because IBM released a couple of SSD’s for their blades, and Vmware has Vmware infrastructure 3i which by coincidences can fit onto IBM’s 31.4gb SSD’s.

As far as the long term storage goes, I seen ads for Blu-Ray changers holding up to 33TB in 660 slots.

Also, having an online backup would be the best idea, in theory at least. But really somebody needs to invent some kind of mass storage medium that is not easily susceptible to decay or corruption. Like stone tablets for text… I wonder how reliable the new solid state drives are for long-term storage.
